Why is it essential? Calibrating your computer screen means the colours you see when editing are an accurate representation of the colours in your image. If your monitor is uncalibrated the image you see isn’t how it will look when printing or viewing on another monitor. The Spyder 3 Pro allows you to calibrate your monitor to accurate colour representation so you can perform colour corrections safe in the knowledge your prints or internet uploads will look the same as your screen.
Key features: The Spyder 3 Pro offers intelligent ambient light control to ensure the most accurate results without any interference from ambient light. A large aperture helps reduce calibration time with a ‘before’ and ‘after’ preview function available within the software. The Spyder 3 Pro comes with both a suction cup and a counterweight to keep it still no matter what kind of monitor you have, and a dock to keep it tidy while not in use or taking ambient readings.
Cost: Price is £100 and more details can be found at www.datacolor.eu
Conclusion: If you’re serious about your photography then a colour calibration device is an obvious choice. The Spyder 3 Pro offers all you need for basic monitor calibration and works on both Windows and Mac OSX operating systems.
